About this tour
A 12-hour private tour from Chiang Mai exploring Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand's grand 13th-century kingdom seat. Start with an early visit to Lampang's local morning market, then ride through the sprawling park's temple ruins—Wat Mahathat, Wat Srichum, Wat Sorasak, Wat Sri Sawai and Wat Sasri—ending at King Ramkamheang's monument. Bicycle sections let you move at your own pace amongst the park's quiet grounds, experiencing the architectural peak of classical Thai style.

What to expect
You'll leave Chiang Mai early to reach Lampang's market in full swing—fishmongers, fruit stalls, locals buying breakfast. After an hour here, drive to Sukhothai (roughly 90 minutes). Spend the afternoon cycling and walking temple grounds. Expect unpaved paths, temple steps, occasional shade structures. Ruins are scattered across open fields; bring a hat and sunscreen. Lunch is provided mid-day. The bike sections move gently; you set the rhythm. Late afternoon return to Chiang Mai, arriving around 6pm.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for uneven ground. Temples require covered shoulders and knees. Early start (around 5–6am pickup) is needed for the market. Not suitable for spinal conditions or pregnancy. Infant seats available. Public transport alternatives exist if you prefer independent travel.
